"The second girl said yes." The patriarch nodded repeatedly, feeling that Gu Yanfei was right.

After the separation just now, the patriarch had a much better impression of Gu Yanfei.

In the past, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu Jian said that this child was rebellious and did not accept discipline. But today he saw that this child spoke and acted neatly, understood right and wrong, knew the righteousness, and had the spirit of being a father.

On the contrary, Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian and her son...

The patriarch glanced at Gu Jian with an unexpected look on his face.

In any case, Mrs. Gu cannot keep kneeling at the Meridian Gate. This is too hurtful to the face of the Gu family, and it will make the emperor feel that the Gu family is ignorant and have to bring people back quickly. However, it is not good that so many people surround me in the palace gate.

The patriarch and Gu Jian discussed it and asked someone to prepare a car, and took Gu Yuan and hurriedly left the mansion to pick up people.

A group of carriages and horses were racing all the way, and quickly rushed to the Meridian Gate after a stick of incense.

But the middle of the Meridian Gate was empty, and Mrs. Gu was not seen. Only the imperial guards on both sides were guarding both sides of the Meridian Gate with spears, and the stinger was there.

Gu Jian's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell whether the wife had returned home by herself or...

He was thinking about it when he saw a short and fat middle-aged eunuch on the other side of the Meridian Gate walking towards this side, bowing casually to Gu Jian and Gu Yuan, and saying in a sharp voice: "Madam Gu was summoned by the Emperor."

"The emperor ordered our family to wait here for the marquis."

"Mr. Gu Qianhu, please come together."

As he said that, the middle-aged eunuch reached out to ask for advice with a smile, and his eyes swept over the patriarch standing between Gu Jian and Gu Yuan.

Gu Jian was even more confused. He heard the meaning revealed in the eunuch's words, and the emperor knew that he would come sooner or later?

He felt his mouth dry and introduced the patriarch to the eunuch: "Brother-in-law, this is the patriarch of my Gu clan."

The clan leader bowed and introduced himself in a regular manner: "I am surnamed Gu and named An. I have met my father-in-law."

He was in a heavy palace gate, and the patriarch was uncomfortable everywhere. He had never entered the palace in his life. The magnificent and majestic high-walled palace gate around him invisibly gave him a sense of oppression, which made him restrain his hands and feet.

"Old Master Gu, come with our family, too." The middle-aged eunuch smiled very friendly with his round face, and walked in front to lead the way for the three Gu family members.

So, the three of them followed the middle-aged eunuch and walked straight forward, unobstructedly through tall and majestic palace gates.

The patriarch was frightened and frightened, and he looked around all the way, and he didn't dare to glance around at him. He only felt that the sunshine today was so bright that it was so dazzling that it was hard to open his eyes.

Before he could walk for hundreds of feet, his back was already sweaty, and his body and steps became increasingly stiff and cramped.

The patriarch had no idea of ​​the road. After passing through many palace gates, he entered a lush garden with no high palace walls around it, which made people suddenly realize.

The clear sky is as clear as blue as the flowers are everywhere in the imperial garden, and forsythia blossoms have tender yellow buds on the branches.

The weather in early spring is still cold, and the afternoon wind is still chilling when it blows on your body.

After traveling through the garden for a while, they arrived at a water pavilion by the lake.

There were more than ten people gathered in the water pavilion, and the clan leader saw a familiar figure kneeling stiffly on the ground at a glance. It was a woman in her fifties, wearing big makeup, and the luxurious Wu Zhaiguan on her head shone with dazzling brilliance.

The woman kneeling on the ground was Mrs. Gu.

When the Gu family and the three of them walked past Mrs. Gu under the guidance of the eunuch, Mrs. Gu noticed them.

She didn't expect them to come, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Mrs. Gu pursed her lips tightly, her dull lips were dry and skinny, and a trace of anxiety flashed through her eyes.

After Gu Yuan left, Mrs. Gu knelt at the Meridian Gate for nearly half an hour. More and more court officials came to and from the Meridian Gate. Although those court officials did not ask Mrs. Gu for some reason, they could not help but look at him strangely.

Later, she was brought in by a strange eunuch and took her to Tinglan Water Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and to the emperor and his son.

Mrs. Gu knelt down and was about to "appoint guilt" on Gu Yuan. Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin, Feng She and others rushed to see the emperor after hearing the news.

Most of these people were powerful officials who took on important responsibilities in the court. When they arrived, Mrs. Gu, a wife, had no room for speech at all, and could only wait here, wait for half an hour, and waited until Gu Jian, Gu Yuan and the others arrived.

Mrs. Gu was nervous and quietly winked at Gu Jian, meaning, why did he come into the palace?

Gu Jian received his mother's look, but the palace was in great importance, so he could only stare at Mrs. Gu in a tangled manner, hiding his words, he dared not answer or ask, and looked to the front of the left.

The emperor sat by the window, facing Chu Yi, the eldest prince in an apricot yellow python robe, across the coffee table. There was a wooden chessboard between the father and son, and there were only a few chess pieces on the chessboard.

A colorful parrot was parked on the gilded bird stand hanging on the window, and the lively parrot flapped its wings on the bird stand.

The atmosphere in the water pavilion was extremely solemn.

Gu Jian lowered his head and bowed to Gu Yuan, and the clan leader bowed to the emperor and Chu Yi together: "See the Emperor, Your Highness, the Great Prince."

Gu Jian's palm was already covered in cold sweat.

He didn't expect that the lady would be taken to the imperial court.

Originally, the Grandma would only kneel on the Meridian Gate for a while and then go to the Meridian Gate to take people back half an hour later. It would be bad if this matter really happened to the emperor.

No matter what, the emperor and the eldest prince are father and son. The emperor will definitely not punish the eldest prince for the sake of a dead person, and will definitely protect the eldest prince.

If the Gu family is too arrogant, they will become the first to emerge.

The officials including Shoufu Xiao and others in the Water Pavilion calmed down and looked at the Gu family with different expressions.

After a few breaths of silence, the emperor's calm voice sounded: "Zhao Rang, give Gu Qianhu the letter of Mrs. Gu."

Zhao Rang responded, picked up a note from the chessboard and handed it to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan had seen this letter from Chu Yi, but at this moment, he did not show any strange color on his face. He looked at the letter in a pretentious manner and recalled what his sister said to him in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuan lifted his robe and knelt down, without saying a word. Even though he knelt down, his waist was still straight, like a green pine standing proudly by the cliff.

Shoufu Xiao bowed to the emperor and said with a righteous attitude: "Please punish Gu Yuan."

Feng She and others next to them exchanged their eyes quickly, their eyes shining brightly.

As long as Gu Yuan is convicted, it means that the eldest prince has it and their Feng family will be saved!

As Shoufu Xiao wanted to find more, he not only wanted to protect the Feng family, but also wanted to save the Yu family.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Shoufu with a faint expression. Feng She and others glanced at him, pinched the fish food from the box, and sprinkled it into the lake outside the window, and asked back, "Supervisor thought it was Gu Qianhu's fault?"

In the lake, hundreds of golden and red carp smell the fragrance, forming a gorgeous picture like a hundred birds returning to their nests, and the shimmering water embellishes it.

Chu Yi looked at the rippling lake outside the window, his graceful lips slightly raised, as if he hadn't heard it, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Shoufu Xiao looked up and looked at the emperor, bowed with his hands, and said calmly: "Emperor, Mrs. Gu is the grandmother of Gu Qianhu. The ancestors told their grandson, so there is a reason for this."

As he said that, Shou Gu Xiao raised his voice and turned to ask Mrs. Gu who was kneeling down and said, "Mrs. Gu, is this true?"

Shoufu Xiao always speaks neither light nor heavy nor fast, but at this moment a sharp pressure appears in his voice.

Mrs. Gu had already sweated like a rain, and the heavy makeup on her body pressed her like a mountain, making her feel breathless.

Now that things have come to this point, since she has handed over this repentance, it means that she has made a knife in the hands of Shougong Xiao, and she has no other choice.

Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth heavily and said with difficulty: "Emperor, Shoufu Xiao, the eldest grandson of the minister, is a violent man. Since childhood, she has liked to fight and fight, and often causes trouble and hurt many people."

"and……"

She paused, looked at Gu Yuan, who was kneeling not far away, and seemed to be hesitating again, before continuing to say: "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, after the eldest grandson of his wife returned to his house, she told her that he had killed someone in person..."

"My wife has been thinking about it all these days, and she can't sleep. She can't let him make a big mistake and make a lot of trouble. She will make a lot of trouble, so she came to avenge her crime."

After saying that, Mrs. Gu lowered her head heavy again, and was well maintained like a girl's hand hidden in her sleeves and stretched tightly.

Hearing these words, the patriarch next to him widened his eyes in disbelief, with shock, disappointment, anger, and sudden realization in his eyes.

He grew up watching Gu Yuan grow up, and naturally knew that Gu Yuan was not the kind of person that Mrs. Gu said.

Thinking about the separation of the family today, the patriarch looked at Gu Yuan beside him thoughtfully, full of pity, and thought to himself: The lady is partial to the second wife and dares to speak so wildly in front of the emperor. I am afraid that it has been like this all these years, which is really a pain for Brother Yuan.

Gu Yuan knelt on the ground with his back straight back, still saying nothing, with a cold expression.

The emperor looked around the crowd slowly again, and took everyone's reactions of anxiety, expectation, dissatisfaction, or gloating.

The water pavilion was quiet for a moment.

A smile appeared on the old and elegant face of the emperor, as if he was sneering and sneering, and slowly said: "So, Mrs. Gu and all the adults felt that Feng He did not assassinate the eldest prince, was it the eldest prince who wronged Feng He?"

The emperor's voice was quite calm, but anyone could hear the anger in his words, and his tone was three times cold.

In response to the emperor, there was a dead silence, and only the flapping sound of carp outside the window occasionally sounded.

Mrs. Gu did not dare to answer, she knelt with her eyes looking at her nose and her nose looking at her heart.

Shoufu Xiao, Feng She and others did think so. They didn’t answer, but they clearly wrote their answers on their faces: Of course, Feng He did not assassinate the eldest prince!
